HI guys! I was thinking... What would happen if the atom were considered the smallest thing of the universe, or just that electrons, protons e neutrons were that? That would impact in semiconductors technologies? Or plasma? Or nanotech? How? Thanks in advance.

Guys, I'm sorry for have used the term "middle school". As I said, in My country middle school, in poor translate, is the same of yours high school. I don't want to teach the deep aspects of elementary particles, I just want to introduce the concepts that would allow them to understand what is...

Thanks Simon! Oh, in my country we call middle school or middle education (in simple translate) what I think that is the "high school" in EUA The students are aged between 15 and 17. How can I introduce fundamental particles while I teach electricity? Introducing concepts like the fact that...

Hi guys! I'm doing a research about teaching elementary particles in the middle school, something that isn't the reality in my country. Despite of the research in Physics Teaching be a lot advanced, the proposals made by them are not applied in the practice of the teachers. I want to propose...

Omg, thank you! you don't even know how helpful you was, that's what I needed!

Thanks again! Thanks for the discussion about the use of SM of particle physics in cosmology, really helped me to understand more about the relation about them, Thanks so much for the insight! Thanks!

Thanks a lot for everything! Can you or someone give me a help about what disciplines I have to take to be able to understand at least a little of the mathematics in the SM and the models from BSM, like extra dimensions? Linear algebra? Calculus? Which topic of it? I'm having a little hard time...

Thanks for the insight Orodruin! I have two more questions: Does the SM of particle physics have a geometry? Like Minkousky or Godel? or these things are from cosmology? Do you have articles or textbooks about SM and models BSM to recommend? Thanks!

I'm in a deep discussion with a friend. He says that the Standard Model of particle physics is actually known by Standard Model of cosmology and that both are the same and that the SM of particle physics is in the Minkousky geometry... I disagree about this, I do think that the SM of particle...
